Saying Farewell...

As you are saying goodbye to people you realise that is all about the relationships that you have built with people. You could have implemented the best project ever- but if you don't have the connections with people then there is no heart to the project.
I really hope that we have given heart to the project.
Good-bye Vigurungani

Goodbye Kazamoyo

A great way to spend our last weekend in Kenya.

I miss this this energy and learning new dance moves.

Where does the time go?

I can't believe it but I have only 5 more days in the field- then we will be heading back to Canada the middle of this month. How does one begin to close the chapter on such an experience? There is still so much I still want to experience and people I want to continue to get to know but the plane is leaving and I have to be on it.
I want to share a couple pictures out of my 300 that I took in the last 2 weeks.

CULTURAL EXPERIENCE

It was funny because Taya and I were working on taping a poster under a lightbulb in the house and we began to notice that there were these large bugs that were bothering us as we were trying to tape, and of course some were getting stuck to it. More and more started to come inside- about a hundred... and then we looked outside! There were thousands of flying termites trying to infest our entire house. Apparently during the rains the termites come out-


Insect to some... food for others- after being fried and de-winged.
